Eighty years of showcasing The Royal Corps of Signals
The Museum in its new form was re-opened on 28th May 1997. Situated on Blandford Camp, a working military base, the museum is housed in an accessible, modern, air conditioned building. As you’d expected from a leading attraction there are many informative and educational exhibitons and interactive displays with fun trails for younger visitors.
Founded in Catterick, in North Yorkshire in the mid 1930s, the Royal Signals Museum moved from the former home of The Royal Signals to Blandford Camp in 1967. Following a successful appeal launched in 1989, to raise over £1 million, a new wing was constructed and refurbished displays implemented.
The Royal Signals Museum houses the national collection of military communications equipment and vividly tells the story of military communications and of The Corps via a series of enlightening exhibitions – including interactive exhibitions – and displays.
